I mentioned earlier that the Falcon derailleur looked a lot like an Eagle II. I dug one up and they are IDENTICAL aside from the mount type of screw used for the cable and the lack of the Eagle II's crazy-enormous cage guard. Once I get the hub greased I'm going to try swapping derailleurs to see if the index shifter works with it.

Cool. The FR7 may help extending the life of the bearings and hub.

As for Eagle II derailleur, it seems it may be compatible with TD-One derailleur as well. Let us know how your switch goes. Post pics, if possible. A picture alone is worth 1000 words
